Creativity is valued from "summary" of In Defense of a Liberal Education by Fareed Zakaria
Fareed Zakaria argues that in today's rapidly changing world, the ability to think creatively is more important than ever before. In a time when technology is advancing at an unprecedented pace, the need for individuals who can think outside the box and come up with innovative solutions to complex problems has never been greater. Creativity is not just a valuable skill; it is a necessary one. In the past, creativity was often undervalued in favor of more practical skills. However, Zakaria believes that this is a mistake. In a world where information is readily available at our fingertips, the ability to think critically and creatively is what sets individuals apart. Creativity is what allows us to make connections between seemingly unrelated ideas, to see patterns where others see chaos, and to come up with new ways of doing things. Zakaria argues that creativity is not just valuable in the workplace; it is also essential for personal fulfillment. Being able to express oneself creatively, whether through art, music, writing, or any other medium, is what gives life meaning and purpose. Creativity allows us to explore the depths of our own minds and to connect with others on a deep, emotional level.- Creativity is what makes us uniquely human. It is what sets us apart from machines and allows us to bring a personal touch to everything we do. By valuing and nurturing creativity, we are not only investing in our own future but in the future of society as a whole. Creativity is what drives progress, innovation, and ultimately, the betterment of the world.
